I don't know about Kevin, but for me some USB flash drives become slower
at writing of large files, when converted from factory formatted FAT to
ext3.  It is as if the flash translation layer in the USB drive was
optimised for FAT.  Adjusting the starting position of the partition can
do this as well.  ext3 also has this journal thing, which presumably
increases the number of writes.
